Azure Files and ABE (access based enumeration)
Hi, Does Azure Files shares support Access Based Enumeration? It seems it does not. If I was to use Azure Sync and front end with a Windows Server can I use ABE on the file share? This is a deal ...
Hi Aragorn ,
As far as I know, ABE is a feature of DFS-N.
If you want to, you can integrate Azure File shares into your existing DFS Namespace (that has ABE turned on), this is supported, but Azure Files are not providing DFS-N capabilities. Please note, that DFS-R is not supported with Azure Files.
You will need to first enable identity-based authentication in Azure Files using this guide.
Would like to know, if this already works to everyone? I have tried this, added the File Share to DFS-N and it was pushed down, but the folders who I doont have access with is still showing, am I missing something?
Hi Champ, I raised a ticket with MS Support about this and ABE Is currently not supported with Azure File Shares, even when using your own DFS-N. It is apparently on their roadmap, but not eta.
- Too bad! This is a good features to have, minus points for Azure File Shares! Thanks for your update unitism. No ETA means still long way to go 😞
